Bitcoin News: Will Nasdaq-100 Firm MicroStrategy Enter the S&P 500 by 2025?

MicroStrategy, a prominent Nasdaq-100 firm known for its bold Bitcoin strategy, has acquired 15,350 BTC for around $1.5 billion at an average price of $100,386 per Bitcoin. This move further solidifies its position as a major corporate Bitcoin holder.

With this latest acquisition, MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings now total 439,000 BTC, purchased for $27.1 billion. The company’s average purchase price stands at $61,725 per Bitcoin, yielding significant returns: 46.4% quarter-to-date (QTD) and 72.4% year-to-date (YTD).

MicroStrategy Joins Nasdaq-100 Giants

On December 15, Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, stirred curiosity with a cryptic post on X (formerly Twitter). He questioned the absence of a “green dot” on SaylorTracker—an indicator widely associated with upcoming MicroStrategy Bitcoin purchases. The post fueled speculation about the company’s next steps.

Starting December 23, MicroStrategy will join the Nasdaq-100, placing it alongside some of the world’s leading companies. This inclusion guarantees its presence in index-tracking exchange-traded funds (ETFs) like Invesco’s QQQ, which manages over $300 billion in assets.

Collectively, Nasdaq-100 tracking ETFs manage more than $550 billion, greatly enhancing MicroStrategy’s exposure to investors globally.

MicroStrategy is the first Bitcoin treasury company to enter the Nasdaq-100. Michael Saylor predicts that Marathon Digital Holdings ($MARA), a leading Bitcoin mining firm, could follow suit and join the prestigious index in the near future.

Eyeing S&P 500 Inclusion

James Van Straten, a senior analyst at CoinDesk, believes MicroStrategy could qualify for the S&P 500 if it posts positive earnings over the last four quarters. He estimates that with Bitcoin reaching $120,000 and new Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) rules taking effect in Q1 2025, MicroStrategy could achieve $25 billion in net income.

This scenario would make the company eligible for S&P 500 inclusion as early as Q2 2025.

Impact on Bitcoin Price

Bitcoin Price continued its upward trend, reaching a new all-time high of 106,488.25 early Monday. The recent spike comes amid rising investor optimism, spurred by US President-elect Donald Trump’s possible bitcoin strategic reserve fund and the continuous surge of institutional interest, including the Nasdaq listing of pro-Bitcoin startup MicroStrategy.

As of press time, BTC price is changing hands at $103K, with a minor loss.

Market experts believe that MicroStrategy’s growing influence in the Nasdaq-100 and its continued Bitcoin purchases could further attract additional institutional buyers, potentially pushing Bitcoin to new all-time highs.
